I’m a big fan of using tools to help me run my business better. That’s why I love the internet. There are so many ways to make your business run smarter, faster and even on autopilot that you can literally make money without even being there.

Choosing the right tools can be a challenge for some people.

Internet Resources & Tools

Here’s a list of things to consider when choosing the resources and tools to build your business:

1. How does this help my ROI (return on investment)? In other words, will using this tool make you more money?

2. Why do you want to use it? Are you considering a tool because someone told you that you must have it, or do you actually need it?

3. Is it in your budget? You’d be amazed at how many free and low cost options there are out there, don’t sign up for a high-priced tool before doing your research and deciding if it really is within your budget.

4. Is it user friendly? There’s nothing worse than downloading a program you need now and finding out it’s going to take you eight months to learn it. On the other hand, investing some time in learning a program that will advance your business is a smart move.

How Can Internet Tools Improve Your Business?

There are a few ways I use internet tools to build my business strong and make more money. Here they are:

Automation – This might very well be my favorite! Automate and you don’t have to be there. Plan ahead, do the work, set it and then move on to the next thing. There are many tools that make this possible.

Organization – There are tools that help you organize files, information, passwords and more.

Speed – There are many tools you can use to do things faster online. The need for speed is great when you want to get a lot of things done in a limited amount of time!

One of the biggest traps I see people falling into over and over again is buying tools they don’t need because someone told them they did need it. Don’t let this happen to you. Avoid the desire to try out every new gadget. Sometimes new is great and sometimes it’s just a distraction from your business goals.

Keep your business goals top of mind when you seek out new ways to save time and maximize your productivity and you’ll see the huge benefits to your business.
